Abstract: 20,914. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Sept. 13. Electro magnetic switches, - An electromagnetic switch or relay has a number of separate spring contacts, and two or more retarding-devices to determine the order of closing and opening of the contacts, the retarding- devices being operative as to part of them upon excitation and as to part of them upon release of the relay. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a pivoted armature a, provided with an operating-bar b, when attracted by the electromagnet, pushes up a spring contact c away from a contact f and makes a new contact with a spring g. Simultaneously the bar b leaves a spring contact d free to move up to a contact e, the motion being retarded by a dash-pot i, and the contact completed only after an interval. When the armature ceases to be attracted, the bar b immediately carries the contact d downwards, but the contact c is retarded by a dash-pot h and follows after an interval.

Title: Timing Mechanism applicable to Automobile Torpedoes and other Apparatus.
Inventor: LEAVITT FRANK MCDOWELL

Filed: 1913-03-13
Granted: 1914-03-13
Abstract: 6272. Leavitt, F. M. March 13. Lighting burners.-Relates to mechanisms of the kind in which, after a given run, a travelling member, driven by gearing, releases a spring-controlled member, and is itself released and returned to its starting position, and in which the starting position can be adjusted. Such mechanisms are useful specially in torpedoes, where the spring-controlled member may control various operations, for example the ignition of the fuel in the air-heater. According to the invention, the spring - controlled member carries a frame supporting gear-wheels, which normally drive a rack on the travelling member, and, when the spring member is released, are moved away from the rack. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the member B, controlled by a spring C and normally locked by a spring bolt D, carries a frame G supporting gearwheels F, which are driven by a shaft A and drive a rack f on the travelling member E. After a given travel, the member E abuts against the bolt D and withdraws it from a notch B<1> in the member B, which being thus released, is raised by the spring C and lifts the gear-wheels F away from the rack f. The member E is now returned to the starting position by a lever H and rod I under the influence of a spring within a barrel K. This spring S, Fig. 3, is arranged between loose washers J, J' confined by shoulders h, h<1> within the barrel and shoulders i, i<1> on the rod, so that, whenever the member E is released, the spring draws the rod I in until the shoulders i, i<1> coincide with the shoulders h, h<1> respectively. To adjust the normal position thus determined, the whole barrel is screwed in a sleeve K<1> provided with a tightening-screw L. In a :nodification, Fig. 4, the spring is like a horseshoe in form, and its two prongs fit in a slot q in the member E, and the normal position is determined by a double stop k<2> adjusted by a screw f.

Granted: 1915-03-16
Abstract: 6663. Billioque, H. J. E. March 16. Turning - g e a r . - A spring 10 used to turn an engine at starting is connected at its outer end to a fixed casing 1 and at its inner to a sleeve 5, which carries through a flange 6 a ratchet ring 7 having external teeth 8 and internal teeth 9. The internal teeth engage with pawls 13 pivoted on an arm fixed on the engine shaft 4, and the drive from the spring is taken through these p a w l s ; when the engine is running, the weighted ends 13<a> of the pawls act centrifugally to disconnect the pawls from the ratchet teeth. The spring is rewound by a cam 14 on the shaft 4 striking the end 20 of and thereby oscillating a lever-16 carrying the rewinding-pawl 19. A holding pawl 26 is carried by a member 24, a spring 39 on which this bar rests absorbing the shock on the pawl 26. A lever 31 pivoted at 32 has a cross pin 33, which rests on the outer coil of the spring. A spring 22 placed between the lever 31 and the oscillating lever 16 holds this lever up to the cam. To allow the spring, when wound, to drive the engine, a lever 28 is pulled by a cord 29 and by means of projections on the lever the pawls 19, 26 are raised and held, and the ratchet ring can turn. When the engine is started the cord is released and winding continues, until the pin 33 can enter a recess 51 in the flange 6 formed on the sleeve 5 ; the pin then strikes the tail of the pawl 19 and the end of the lever 31 engages the lever 16 to hold the lever and pawl disengaged. The doubly toothed ratchet ring can be replaced by two ratchet-wheels. The spring as shown may be replaced by any other kind of spring ; an arrangement suitable for aeroplanes comprises a strip of india-rubber which is stretched through mechanism as described above, a cord attached to the india-rubber being wound round a drum attached to the ratchet ring. The engine may be started by hand ; or a lever 41 carrying a pawl 42 may be oscillated to wind up the spring.

Abstract: 16,343. Marks, E. C. R., [International Quadruplex Co.]. July 8. Diplex, duplex, and quadruplex telegrahs; siphon recorders. - In systems in which one message is sent by impulses of positive polarity and another is sent on the same line by impulses of negative polarity, the depression of either transmitting-key removes the normal connexion of the cable to earth. The commutator 7 connects alternately the generators 1, 2 to brushes 12, 13 respectively. When the key 14 only is depressed, positive impulses from the generator 1 are sent to line, signals being given by long and short depressions of the key. Similarly, signals composed of negative impulses are sent by the key 15. The depression of either key 14. 1.5 opens the circuit of the corresponding relay 36, 37, thus breaking the normal connexion of the cable to ground over the front contacts of the relays 36, 37. The battery 33 is so arranged that a clearing-impulse is sent to line between the depressions of the key 14. When the system is duplexed, as shown, two siphon recorders are connected to the bridge, but one of the fibres connecting the coil to the cradle is removed in each instrument, thus causing one instrument to record only positive pulsations and the other only negative pulsations. In another form in which differential relays are connected in the arms of the receiving-bridge, the local circuits of the relays are connected through transformers to telephone receivers.

Abstract: 16,707. Compagnie Generale de Construction de Fours. March 7, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Fire-bars and grates; cleaning and presenting incrustation; ash-pits.-In a gas-producer, the grate is formed of hollow rotary inclined perforated fire-bars through which water may circulate, and scrapers operated by rack-andpinion gearing are provided for removing clinkers from the producer walls. The cleaning of the walls may also be effected by a handoperated or mechanically-operated bar suspended by pulley-blocks from a truck mounted on a rail at the front of the producer. As shown in Fig. 1, the grate bars a are mounted in supports b, c and rotated by worm or other gearing. Water is introduced at the upper ends of the bars and escapes in the form of steam through the perforations e. The perforations e may be plugged, and the cooling- water may be allowed to escape through openings in the lower ends of the bars closed by rods g. Teeth i are provided on the bars and serve to effect the removal of ashes and clinker. Fig. 3 shows a modified form of bar adapted to be operated by hand. Clinker adhering to the side and rear walls of the producer is detached by means of oscillating shares k, k' carried by a frame rotating about a pin m and driven mechanically by toothed quadrants n operated by pinions o. The shares may be provided with conduits for the circulation of water. The shares may be combined with a tray arranged in the ash-pit and adapted to oscillate with the shares. Fig. 5 shows a handoperated cleaning-bar 3 suspended by pulleyblocks 2 from a truck y mounted on a rail z and adapted for use in connexion with a series of producers. A mechanically-operated cleaning-tool is shown in Fig. 6, comprising a rotary blade 4 driven by a motor 5 through suitable gearing. The blade is detachable and adjustable in length. The tool is supported by a frame 9 suspended from a truck by pulleyblocks 2.
